fun and stylin! Your blog is so dang cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cool! I bet I could do that with the Beehives, too! TFS!
ReplyDeletePS, When do you take the rocks out? And do you let it dry on it's side or standing up?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by both of you!
ReplyDeleteOh whoops! I forgot to add that part- We took the rocks out after we rolled it around and before we set them out to dry. And they can dry on their sides or standing up. We tried both and the paint was spread around enough that we didn't get any drips at all.
If you do it with the YW you should come back and post pics!
